Recalls Discalma normata Walk. (= parallelaria Walk.) in general 

 facies and coloration ; apart, however, from the $ antenna, it may be 

 distinguished at a glance by the anteriorly curved postmedian line ; 

 cell-dots larger and stronger (variable, however, in normata}. 



GEN. DISCALMA Meyr. 



33. DISCALMA ARCIFERA DTTBIA, subsp. nov. 



cJ. 30 mm. Differs from arcifera arcifera Hmpsn. (Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. Lond. 1910, p. 469, t. 39, f. 3), from N. E. Ehodesia (and a quite 

 similar $ from Ruo Valley, Portuguese East Africa), as follows: 

 Ground-colour less rufescent, with stronger dark irroration ; the 

 oblique common line finer and darker, followed distally on each wing 

 above and beneath by a thick, dentate dark line arising near apex and 

 diverging gradually from the oblique line. 



North OvampoLand, 1890-91 (H. W. Eriksson). 



As the apex of the forewing is more falcate, this may well prove a 

 distinct species, but the rest of the structure and the facies agree so 

 absolutely that I hesitate so to regard it. 



GEN. GONODONTIS Hb. 



34. GONODONTIS STICTONEUEA, Sp. UOV. 



<$ . 37 mm. Head and body coucolorous with wings, the face dark- 

 mixed, the palpus inf uscated on the outer side. Antennal pectinations 

 long for the genus (over 3 times diameter of shaft). 



Forewing with tei'men not crenulate, scarcely waved ; pale greyish 

 ochreous, with scattered (sometimes very weak) dark irroration ; lines 

 weak, especially the antemediau, which arises at two-fifths costa and 

 is markedly excurved, but is scarcely traceable except by a slightly 

 pale line which accompanies it proximally and by three black vein- 

 dots, those on M (at origin of M 2 ) and SM 2 large and conspicuous ; 

 postmedian marked with smaller dark vein-dots, arising at four-fifths 

 costa, nearly straight to E 3 , here angled, its posterior half forming a 

 regular curve, with the convexity directed proximad ; a slight pale line 

 accompanying the postmedian distally , cell-mark strong, ocellated, 

 showing a slight tendency to break up into dots ; termen with small 

 interneural dots. Hindwing paler, with a similar but rather less 

 intense cell-mark and faintly discernible, angulated postmedian line, 

 beyond which is a vague, narrow whitish band ; terminal dots obso- 

 lescent. Both wings beneath with the ocellus strong, the angulated
